Gardner Spring 36563GS Precision Compression Spring

Product Description

The GARDNER SPRING 36563GS is a precision compression spring designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable force over a defined deflection range. Built from stainless steel with a plain finish, this closed and ground end spring delivers a spring rate of 38.26 lb/in and a maximum work load of 53 lb. The 0.085 inch wire diameter and 0.72 inch outside diameter keep it compact while maintaining structural integrity under load. Licensed mechanical technicians, industrial maintenance professionals, and qualified fabricators typically specify this type of spring in assemblies where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are both required.

This spring fits into applications where a 0.75 inch hole diameter and a 2 inch free length are within the design envelope. Its stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments with moisture exposure, mild chemical contact, or elevated temperatures where carbon steel would degrade. Typical install scenarios include fluid handling assemblies, pneumatic and hydraulic valve mechanisms, precision machinery, and industrial equipment requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant return or compression element.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction meets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 standards for corrosion resistance and material consistency
• Closed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating surfaces for accurate load transfer
• 38.26 lb/in spring rate delivers predictable, linear force response across the deflection range
• 53 lb maximum work load supports demanding compression applications in compact spaces
• 0.72 inch outside diameter fits standard 0.75 inch hole diameter clearances
• Solid height of 0.784 inches limits over-compression and protects assembly geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a precision-grade OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.72 inch outside diameter, 2 inch free length, and stainless steel material specification.

Installation Notes

Installation of compression springs should be performed by qualified mechanical technicians or engineers familiar with spring-loaded assemblies. Relieve all stored energy and depressurize any associated hydraulic or pneumatic circuits before disassembly. Ensure the mating bore or guide rod dimensions are within tolerance for the specified hole diameter and wire size to prevent binding or premature fatigue. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height during installation or operation.
